Magickal Herbs & Uses

History Of Herbs

Herbs for centuries have been a pillar in natural medicine. Many cultures knew the healing power of herbs, not just Witches. The Sumerians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Chinese, and more used herbs for medical and healing purposes. Medicine people off all cultures were known to be visited for their healing salves, potions, tonics, teas, and more.

In Witchcraft herbs have many uses. Herbs can be used in spells, spell jars, sachets, rituals, ceremonies, burning with candles or charcoal, sprays, oils, spiritual baths, body products, tonics, elixirs, or even just the ritual of enjoying a cup of tea. 🍵 You can cook with them, wear them, burn them, or make art with them. The choices are endless!
